What Motivates and Inspires me.

What kinds of things motivate and inspire writers today?

fall

I, for one, love the spring and fall and the lovely weather that each season brings.  I love watching the birds feeding, such as the beautiful humming bird above and below.  They motivate me.  They seem so relaxed and comfortable eating.

Even though winter is not my favorite time of year I love watching the snow fall, as long as I don’t have to drive in it.  I enjoy watching the birds voraciously eating because of the stormy weather to keep up their strength and weight.

I love watching sunsets in Aruba. I love seeing the sun rise on days I leave early to babysit my precious grandchildren.  My children and grandchildren deeply inspire me to be a better person.

I love the color of the sky – azure blue!

Roses for Valentines Day I am inspired by the color and beauty of roses!

Roses are one of my favorite flowers which my husband brings me many times a year.  He inspires me and supports me in every way and I love him dearly.  He is my best friend!

  2. Nature is a wonderful inspiration for artists, poets, sculptors and authors – all of who use their talents to express themselves. And the rest of us thank them 🙂

    PS I’m proud to have you as a friend Janice 🙂
